In search of a new class of stable nitroxide: synthesis and reactivity of a peri-substituted N,N-bissulfonylhydroxylamine by Patel, Bhaven, Carlisle, Julie, Bottle, Steven E., Hanson, Graeme R., Kariuki, Benson M., Male, Louise, McMurtrie, John C., Spencer, Neil, Grainger, Richard S.

“…In an approach to stabilising a bissulfonylnitroxide radical, the cyclic, peri-substituted N,N-bissulfonylhydroxylamine, 2-hydroxynaphtho[1,8-de][1,3,2]dithiazine 1,1,3,3-tetraoxide (1), has been prepared by formal nitrogen insertion into the sulfur–sulfur bond of a sulfinylsulfone, naphtho[1,8-cd][1,2]dithiole 1,1,2-trioxide. The heterocyclic ring of 1 is shown to adopt a sofa conformation by X-ray crystallography, with a pseudo-axial hydroxyl group. …”

Interaction suppression technique for high-density antenna arrays for mm-wave 5G MIMO systems by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Althuwayb, Ayman Abdulhadi, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…High isolation between adjacent radiation elements was achieved by embedding a crisscrossed decoupling structure comprising slotted microstrip-lines and locating in the ground-plane under each slot a dielectric ring. The proposed periodic array behaves as artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surfaces as incident waves in the substrate are fully reflected with a near zero degrees reflection phase. …”
